Sarutobi Clan

Several members of the Sarutobi clan during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

The Sarutobi clan (猿飛一族, Sarutobi Ichizoku) is an influential clan from Konohagakure. It has produced several notable members who have held positions of high authority, such as Hokage, and membership in the Twelve Guardian Ninja. All known members have also been observed devotees of the Will of Fire.

Abilities

The Sarutobi are famous for their high willpower, and exceptionally strong shinobi. All the members which have been shown fighting — with the exception of Konohamaru who has only done so in the anime[4] — have displayed the ability to use Fire Releasenature transformation.[3] The members of this clan seem to be able to easily master high-level techniques, as Hiruzen became revered as the "God of Shinobi" (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami), and Konohamaru managed to learn A-rank techniques such as the Rasengan, as well as B-rank techniques such as the Shadow Clone Technique, at a young age.

Other Notable Clan Members

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, a group of Sarutobi clan members attacked the Ten-Tails by super-heating the cement-like substance which the beast had been trapped in.[3]

Trivia

Sarutobi means 'monkey jump': 'Saru' (猿) is the character for 'monkey', and "Tobi" (飛) is the character for "jump".
